Chapter 296

This season's Premier League and UEFA Champions League cannot escape the name of a club, and that is the blue team Chelsea.

Whether it was last summer's transfer, Mourinho held the Chelsea coach with the aura of a "champion coach", or Abramovich once again invested hundreds of millions of euros to stir up the football situation, and then Chelsea swept the Premier League and let them dominate the Premier League. Manchester United and the re-climbed Arsenal are unable to compete, and when it comes to Chelsea's all the way to the UEFA Champions League, they have entered the Champions League final strongly. All kinds of good news surround Chelsea, making Chelsea the most football in England, Europe and even the world. One of the hottest teams.

There will never be fewer topics surrounding Chelsea. Naturally, there will not be a minority of media who tout Chelsea around the Champions League final. In contrast, Liverpool, a "declining nobleman", seems much deserted.

Most of the media in Europe are optimistic about Chelsea winning the championship.

Liverpool?
It's just a fallen nobleman!

No matter how much the European media doesn't like the 'upstart' Chelsea and the 'big-mouthed' Mourinho, they must admit Chelsea's strength.

When Chelsea and Liverpool were about to face off in the Champions League, the British media were delighted that English football was dominating the Champions League, and at the same time they were constantly reporting on the game. The core of their reports, to put it bluntly, was, "Liverpool's strength is good, and it is already very remarkable to be able to reach the Champions League final. , but wanting to snatch the championship trophy from Chelsea...it's hard!"

Even Liverpool's supporter "Guardian" thinks so. As a media in the north of the UK, "Guardian" has always supported two teams, one is Manchester City, the sworn enemy against Manchester United, and the other is the northern giants Liverpool.

Supporting Liverpool in attitude does not mean that the "Guardian" is optimistic about Liverpool's prospects for winning the championship.

When reporting on the Champions League final, the "Guardian" also clearly stated, "It is too difficult for this Liverpool team to beat Chelsea. They need to play very well to be possible."

However, the "Guardian" did not 'completely give up' Liverpool, they have long-term stationed reporters at the Liverpool training base to do interviews.

In the first three days of the Champions League final, Liverpool opened the training base, allowing the media and fans to enter to watch the training, and media reporters also allowed media reporters to interview players in their free time.

Several core players of Liverpool have become the favorites of media reporters, and almost all Liverpool players said, "We are confident that we can beat Chelsea in the final!"

This may be the daily routine before the big game.

The two teams were interviewed to explain their confidence in the game. The support media of both sides supported their own team confrontationally, and each made reports that were beneficial to their own side.

In Europe, especially in England, there will be no shortage of topics before and after the game.

For the reporters interviewing Liverpool, it is a pity that the head coach Benitez seldom shows up. Even in public interviews, the Spaniard has a staid attitude. He seems to never have a focus. Mourinho, a figure of public opinion, Benitez is too low-key.

However, the reporters who came to interview at the Liverpool training base discovered a new topic character - Shen Yang.

Some British media reporters are no strangers to Shen Yang.

This 'medical expert' who seems to have nothing to do with football has something to do with football for some reason. Before that, he led the training teams to help Fulham and Manchester United in training, and now he is here to help Liverpool.

The work in Fulham and Manchester United has proved the training ability of Shen Yang leading the team.

So helping Liverpool now, can Liverpool really beat Chelsea?
Media reporters are still very conservative.

But in interviews and reports, their thoughts may not be important, what is more important is what the interviewees say. Readers do not want to read analysis reports, they prefer to see real people speak the truth.

When the training in the morning was over, Shen Yang was stopped by several reporters when he walked out of the training ground.

"Do you want an interview?"

"Mr. Shen, can you answer a few questions?" A reporter asked politely.

Shen Yang noticed that his microphone had the 'BBC' logo on it. It should be a reporter from the British BBC Radio and Television Station. He didn't recognize the logos of the other reporters, but if he could be with BBC reporters, they should all be in the big media.

Shen Yang stopped in his tracks, and said with a smile, "Yes, but hurry up, I'm a little hungry, and I'm going to eat."

Several reporters were overjoyed, "Of course, it will end soon."

The reporters immediately entered the working mode. The British BBS broadcast reporter asked, "Mr. Shen, your team has been in Liverpool for a few days. How do you feel here?"

Shen Yang said, "Liverpool is a beautiful city with well-developed industry and commerce, and people are very enthusiastic. When I walk on the street, there are always passers-by who smile at me kindly. I like the atmosphere here very much."

"At the Liverpool club, I feel different from Manchester United. Liverpool is a very united team. Every player is very hardworking. Before the Champions League final, everyone is working hard to prepare for the game! I believe this The whole team is twisted into one rope, and the positive attitude of striving for progress is rare in professional leagues."

A reporter next to him asked the second question, "How is your state training going?"

"Everything is going well." Shen Yang said with a smile, "I believe that on the day of the game, every player in Liverpool will play in the best condition!"

For this sentence, several reporters scoffed. It was really hard for them to believe that a certain kind of training could keep all players in the best condition.

Although they do not deny that training will have a certain effect.

But all players?
impossible!
However, they are just media reporters, questioning will not bring any benefit, the interview only needs to write down what Shen Yang said, publish these on the news, and let the fans make comments.

Then the third reporter asked the key question, "What do you think of the match between Liverpool and Chelsea? Which team do you like more?"

"Liverpool, of course."

"why?"

Shen Yang's expression became a little flattering, and he looked at the reporter like he was looking at a fool, "I'm working in Liverpool now, assisting Liverpool in training, of course I'm more optimistic about Liverpool, otherwise I should go to Chelsea."

"Is that so?"

"That's it."

Shen Yang's helpless expression made the questioning reporter even more helpless, and he immediately asked, "Then what do you think of Chelsea? And their head coach Mourinho?"

"Chelsea is a strong team, Jose Mourinho is a commendable manager, their results this season have proved everything, but you should all know that there is a work of art in the world called 'Venus Broken Arm' , the reason why it has become the most famous artwork is the broken arm. Sometimes incompleteness is also a kind of beauty. I think that if Chelsea wins the Champions League, then it will become perfect, but it cannot be remembered by history. Because that's too perfect. On the contrary, if they lose the Champions League and become incomplete beauty, they will be truly perfect. But Chelsea can rest assured, because Liverpool's skills are very good and will help them become perfect..."

Shen Yang left after speaking.

Several reporters looked at his back, thinking carefully about what they just said.

Chelsea won't be perfect if they don't win?
What the hell is this?
But... thinking about it carefully, it seems that it really makes sense!
----

Shen Yang fooled the reporters for a while, then left to have lunch, and several reporters sent the interview materials back to the headquarters, and in the afternoon, the materials turned into reports one after another.

Chelsea are preparing for the final.

Like Liverpool, Chelsea also focuses on targeted tactical training, and in tactical training, defensive training is more important.

Everyone knows that Mourinho is a supporter of 'conservative' utilitarian football.

No matter when, Mourinho attaches great importance to defense. His '1 to 0' football has been criticized by many people, but the effect is also obvious, as evidenced by Chelsea's results.

In the final against Liverpool, Mourinho also believed that 'as long as the team does not concede a goal, it will be invincible'.

This is Mourinho's idea.

Most teams will also have such considerations when encountering major events. Not conceding a goal means not making mistakes, and no mistakes will result in failure. When facing major events, the role of defense is often much greater than that of offense.

All afternoon, Mourinho was arranging for the team to conduct defensive formation training.

This kind of training will make players familiar with their respective defensive positions, not only let them know how to stand and how to run when dealing with various attacks, but also let them know how to defend when the team is attacking. To determine whether you want to insert an assist, or when to retreat in time to deal with the opponent's possible counterattack.

After directing the team for two hours of training, Mourinho left the training ground.

As the head coach of the team, there is no need for long-term guidance and training. As long as the general direction is determined, the coaching staff can also help to complete it well.

Unlike Benitez, Mourinho is a real 'professional club manager', he has a lot of work to do, even when facing Liverpool in the Champions League final, he has to consider many things, such as the final The summer transfer to be faced later, the transfer is a major job, Chelsea Club has already started the signing work, and Mourinho is the first decision-maker for signing.

After returning to the office, Mourinho did not start working, but looked at the latest media reports, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the title of a report, "Shen Yang: It would be perfect if Chelsea lost the final!"

Mourinho burst out laughing.

Is this praising Chelsea's perfect performance, or is it praising Chelsea's strength?
After reading the report article, Mourinho was not angry, but felt very interesting, because the other party did not ridicule Chelsea, but the content was a bit of praise.

Although the opponent supports Liverpool, it is understandable, isn't it?
What Mourinho doesn't understand is, did the other party say this on purpose, or was the words misinterpreted by the media?He prefers the latter.

Mourinho has no definite answer, but for him, it doesn't matter at all. For people in the Liverpool camp, if they say something about the Champions League final, he only needs to refute it.

Talking words is what Mourinho is good at.

In the eyes of many media and fans, Mourinho always likes to make irresponsible remarks. After spraying this team and that team, he always has no good words in his mouth, and the name of "Big Mouth" is the same. It came out, but Mourinho actually doesn't like to do it, but he is his job. He needs to stand up and escort all the players, so that they can prepare for the game with peace of mind, and he stands up to help admit all the pressure.

This is Mourinho's truest thought.

When Mourinho stands up and attracts all the firepower, Chelsea's players can be liberated. They can concentrate on training instead of worrying about media reports. Perhaps they should worry more about their opponents. Mourinho's The mouth is not forgiving.

After training in the afternoon, Mourinho started his 'daily' spraying work again.

This time it was aimed at Shen Yang.

Mourinho thanked Shen Yang for his affirmation of Chelsea, "I saw Mr. Shen, who trained for Liverpool, praised Chelsea's strength and achievements. Both Chelsea and I feel very honored. He used Venus to describe Chelsea, that's a beautiful metaphor, but European football doesn't need arms, perfection is what all teams want."

"We pursue victory, we pursue perfection. It doesn't matter if we can't be remembered in history, as long as Chelsea fans can remember."

Mourinho's interview was soon reported by the media.

The media who stood and watched the jokes all knew Mourinho's "talking" skills. They expressed sympathy for the young Chinese who bravely stood up, and they were a little gloating in their hearts.

Soon some media interviewed Shen Yang.

It was in front of the hotel. After dinner, Shen Yang and Wang Jian were going back to the hotel to rest, but they were blocked in front of the door by reporters.

A reporter immediately stated Mourinho's words.

Shen Yang felt a little baffled, with an extremely bewildered expression on his face, and said to the reporter, "Probably... maybe... Mr. Mourinho made a mistake, I did describe Chelsea as Venus, but It is just a statue, no matter how perfect it is, it is carved by craftsmen, and Liverpool is a soldier wielding a sharp axe, and a statue in front of a soldier can only wait for the result."

Several reporters were speechless.

This metaphor can also be explained in this way!

The media who supported Liverpool were suddenly excited. In the match between Liverpool and Chelsea, Liverpool has never had an advantage in terms of performance, nor in terms of 'talking'. As the head coach, Benitez rarely speaks out. On the one hand, the sharpness of Mourinho's "talking" is also very important. Among the [-] teams in the Premier League, even the very sharp Manchester United coach Ferguson was "talking" when facing Mourinho. at a disadvantage.

In this round of 'Broken Arm Venus', they finally won a small victory.
